See: JLA’s Powerful Impact

Less than a year ago, JLA announced a $100,000 investment in youthSpark’s Building Better Futures campaign to fund a new Youth Services Center. Envisioned as a safe space for sexually exploited youth to disclose their abuse, the Youth Services Center would allow at-risk youth to be screened for signs of abuse or sexual exploitation while simultaneously connecting them with life-changing restorative services.

Eight months later, youthSpark’s dream was a reality: the Youth Services Center debuted on Nov. 15. The formal ribbon-cutting ceremony also included the debut of Junior League’s room within the Center, the Opportunity Room.

JLA has established itself as a Statewide leader in combatting CSE/HT. It is incredible that in our Centennial year, the League was able to make — and celebrate the results of — such a powerful contribution. The Youth Services Center is just another example of JLA’s commitment to bettering the lives of women and children in our community.
